Coney Island Opens World’s Smallest Brewery

On August 10, San Francisco-based Schmaltz Brewing Company opened up the World’s Smallest Commercial Production Brewery on Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY, legitimizing their Coney Island line of beers, and turning the act of brewing into a sideshow of sorts.

Coney Island’s recipes, which are inspired by “the local artistic and gastronomical landscape” of the area, include a Pumpernickel Bagel Porter; a Red, White, and Blueberry Hefeweizen; a Korndog Kolsch; and a Caramel Apple Ale.

The brewery will crank out beers three at a time in two gallon batches, and guests are invited to watch the beer making process in action (as well as buy t-shirts, beer, and other Coney Island swag).

If you’re in the area, I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon!
